A forty year old woman in the 60's was old, old, old, she even acted old. I remember my MIL, She was old at 39 when I first met her. She was talking retirement at 39, and not investing, just retiring, and she had that goofy hair-do and was just plain old. That was 1982, she was 39, do the math. You can't compare a forty year old women today, born in the late 50's early 60's to then. And you know what, we are on tail end of the baby boomers. Most 40 year olds don't consider themselves boomers because we were 10 when woodstock happened. We are the tweeners.
Speak for yourself, you young wipper snapper.
